that a variance was granted to the previous owner, of the property

the RS-30 zon

ing by the owner of the property about the zone district in which
the property is located. The owner at that time believed the
property was in the AF-1 zone based,"rupon statements made' ~'~iy ttie

in the RS-30 zone". Plans had been drawn up to conform with the AF-

i zoning; (2) The 1041 review was approved with a 30 foot setback
conforming with the AF-1 zoning; (3) The reason the original oorner
sought to develop the property outside the. 50 foot setback was that
the house would. have to be moved .into a Swale Letters were; sub-

that such location should be avoid ~ ~ ~ R "~~ ~.k.a~

Property location: 2114 McLain„Flats Road
Ladies and gentlemen, of the Board,
I stgon 1 0 ose the Board rantin this variance as it re-
presents a significant change from the'or final Tans. In July
g P
of 1988 the builder/owner of this house requested a variance from
me. Based on the plans at that time and with 'the, assurance that
there would be no further changes, I allowed the variance in exchange
for landscaping which would ameliorate the effect to my property.
g ~ ent.
additionsebeenhncludedeortsuggested8 vThisnhousedishdirectly
in front of my home, in my direct line of sight; any change in i.ts
structure has a dramatic impact on my property. Since this houe;e
is a vacation home occupied very little by the owner where is'tk~ere
a need to enlarge it? The home already has substantial square footage
and mass; the design of the structure is out of_character with..
any other in the area. I do not think that a variance should be:
granted as it further increases the non-conformity of the structure.
.._
Based 'on the fact that a variance was granted three years ago no
further encroachment should be allowed.,
Sincerely,
POST OFFICE $OX 4475/2020 MCLAIN FLATS ROAD/ASPEN, CoL.oRADO 8161 2/(303)925-3374

also being requested at this time for this barn and another historic
structure which is being relocated.
They are being relocated on the Jefferies' parcel. Currently, they are
within the 100 foot setback and are proposed to be relocated within the 100
foot setback. When buildings are being relocated, a new building permit
is required and need to go through the same review procedure as a new
building. These are accessory structures which exceed the 12 foot height
limit.
Mayer explained how the barns are being moved and where on the property.
Shaffran asked for public comment and there was none.
After further discussion, Shaffran made a motion to grant a 64 foot front
yard setback variance, where 100 feet is required, for placement of a round
barn and height variances as needed to maintain the integrity of the
historic structure of the structures, as per the plans submitted. Mathis
seconded the motion and all were in favor.
Case #91 52 Forbess John D Trustee of the Inshallah Trust 2114 McLain
Flats Road
Robert Smith was present representing the owner to request an 11 foot east
side yard setback variance, where 50 feet is required in the RS-20 zone
district for construction of a second floor addition to a single-family
residence. Andy Hecht, attorney for the applicant, was also present
representing the owner.
Schaffner briefed the Board on the history of this case. Back when this
house was first built, there was confusion as to what zone district this
lot was located. Patsy Newberry confirmed for the applicant that it was
an AF-1 zone and the house was designed to be 30 feet from the lot line.
When it came in for actual review, Chris Conrad reviewed it and determined
that this lot was RS-20, which has 50 foot requirements. The previous
owner went to the Board of Adjustment (Case #88-28, under Lukins) and
received a 20 foot variance which put them 30 feet from the lot line. The
request before the Board now is for a second story above the existing
footprint. There is no additional setback encroachment, just an increase
in development within the setback.
Valerie Byrnes, adjacent neighbor, was present to comment on this case,
opposing this variance request. She submitted a letter to the Board
stating the reason why she opposes this request. The letter was added to
the file for record.
Shaffran asked what the current square footage of the house was and Smith
stated 5,500 square feet with a proposed addition to be 800 square feet,
with a total 6,300 square foot house.
Byrnes showed the Board where her property lies and that she is the most
affected neighbor and that the second story would cut into her viewplane.

Pitkin County Land Use Code, for construction of a boathouse.
Hazard reviewed the. request with the Board stating that this height
'variance is for the boathouse to be built on the Wildcat Ranch. This
boathouse is to be placed on the ranch manager's parcel and is not the
primary structure but an access`or structure. Hazard mentioned that when

where 12 feet is required per the Pitkin County Land Use Code, per the
plans submitted, due to unique conditions of the property not created by
the applicant. Dyer seconded the motion and all were in favor.

Shaffran moved to approve the minutes of the August 6, 1991 meeting. Gull
seconded the motion and all were in favor.
Schaffner asked the Board how they would feel doing a blanket resolution
which approving development in Starwood building envelopes approved by the
County and which lie within the front yard setback. The Starwood
Homeowners Association would be making the application for this change and
only for those lots where the building envelope lies within the setback.
Schaffner talked this over with Tim Whitsitt, County Attorney, and he
thought it would be a good idea. Every homeowner in Starwood would be
notified.
The Board, after a brief discussion, stated that they would have no
objection to reviewing such an application.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
